I actually think its a good song, i love the song until it goes back to that starting riff for another 4 mins lol. That riff sounds so much like the end of blackwater park.

They made the song the length it is, for the simple fact that is what the song in their minds to to be complete. I personally in the video that it is too short, and misses the whole three minute build-up at the end to the climax, to complete the song.
I am a new Opeth fan. I had never heard them before I saw them live on The Sounds of the Underground Tour in Detroit last summer. The two songs that stuck out in my head were "Deliverance" and "The Grand Conjuration."
Opeth simply blew me away with these epics songs, and for all you whiny bitches out there who want to change the length of a song because it is boring, DON'T LISTEN TO IT.
I hate to go back to this point, but some TOOL fans felt the same way between the musical transition of Aenima and Lateralus that Opeth fans feel between TGC -vs- Old Opeth. They felt that TOOL had sold out, and they could not understand why Lateralus did not sound exactly like Aenima. Personally, I hated Lateralus when it came out, and was very disappointed. Then I saw them live, and it completely blew me away. I realized that my bias to the new "TOOL" sound, was immature. I did not allow myself to open my mind, and to accept the "sound" changes that they have made. I now feel, and have felt ever since that show that Lateralus is the best album that TOOL has made, and I can't wait for the new one.
(I have heard enough TOOL sucks posts, so stick those posts right up your ass beforehand.)
Every band goes through sound changes and writing changes, and being in bands all my life, playing the same shit over and over again bores the crap out of me.
I personally want to thank Opeth for making "The Grand Conjuration" exactly the length it is, and I understand why they did it. It is musical genius.

The guy tells me not to complain about an Opeth song because they are expressing themselves; but when I express myself, he complains?
On to your second dumbass arguement, I never said anyone sold out or that anyone sucks. I like GR, yes, it's my least favorite Opeth album, but I'm not bashing it.
Goodai.

so people stated their opinion. and as a matter of fact, i do usually skip past that song, because i'm pretty much sick of it after hearing it about 30 times when it was leaked.
